Tunisian Keyhole Scarf

This pattern is super simple. We start at the bottom point and using just one stitch – the Tunisian Purl stitch – we work our way up, the width growing slowly as we go. When ready, we add a rectangle along the top that has holes built in… through which we will feed the point. Brilliant!

Slap a tassel on her (optional) and you’re ready to hit the town in style!

I love the pop of color that you get when you combine colorful skeins of Chroma Worsted with the solid “Bare”, “Black”, or “Grey”. This style of scarf makes getting ready effortless. Grab your scarf and go!

Pattern Notes:

Pattern written using US terms.

In Tunisian crochet, the loop on the hook always counts as the first stitch and is included in the stitch count.

It is helpful to make the first stitch of each Backward Pass (not the initial chain 1) a bit tighter than normal.

For stitch placement, it is helpful not to pull the Magic Circle closed until the pattern has been established; or at least until row 7.

Rows 112 and 113 are the “keyhole” rows. The Return Pass for row 112 only is unique and marked with a ^.
